Authentic Jobs is a U.S.-based creative IT and tech job board that provides Canada-based employers with a platform to recruit IT professionals from around the globe. Their job board features a wide array of tech positions, and they cater to big and small companies’ hiring needs.

The majority of the traffic that Authentic Jobs receives, comes from the U.S. The platform does not have a notable presence in the country, but it does feature some local opportunities. Authentic Jobs does not offer any products specific to the Canadian market, and prices are quoted in U.S. dollars.

Optional extras to boost job posting exposure are available.
The platform's Facebook page has over 1,800 followers and job postings are shared on their Twitter account.

Cons:

No free job posting trial is available.
The platform only offers paid subscription plans.
Job post syndication to boost exposure on other job boards is charged extra.
